I remember laying in bed at night and hearing the cilckity-clack...clickity-clack. Kind of like a lullaby. They tore the rails up years ago. My dad said if he never got married and had a family he would have been a train conductor. One of my favorite old train songs is "The Ghost of Virginia" by Justin Townes Earle-beautiful and haunting. Have a great weekend Janice - thanks for the memories ~*~LisaThe Moonlit Stitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579855658011403660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814460467409084965.post-61858969197110545772011-09-23T00:27:48.476-04:002011-09-23T00:27:48.476-04:00Great memories - and awesome post Janice.

When our farm was sold, we kept a chunk of land near the highway and built a house there - it was right across from the railroad track - and I have memories of that train shaking our house as it went by. Great collectibles! Love TJ - that's a great book and movie!!

He has an old RR lantern, that we bought him....I grew up near the tracks, out in the country and I used to love to run the crossing when I heard the whistle a mile or two away....Thanks for the memories.<br /><br />Bear Hugs & Blessings~KarenKaren~The Barely There Primitive Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385549172354668940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814460467409084965.post-16865652857317320052011-09-22T20:38:39.081-04:002011-09-22T20:38:39.081-04:00What a fascinating story!!!!
